Absolute Good
Question
Do you think that God is the absolute good according to your definitions of that? What does absolute good mean? Is there necessarily, in every situation, an objectively correct action?
How do you define God?
Answer
These are empty word games with no real content. My assumption is that He is as good as possible. If there are several possibilities in a given situation, He will choose one of them.
Discussion on Answer
There’s no contradiction. He can have the power of choice and still always choose the good.
Doesn’t that create the problem of foreknowledge and free choice?
Translation into Hebrew?
How are you defining here the "better" option among them?
Does God even have the power of choice, or by virtue of His very being is He "obligated" to choose the good?
